Performance Notes | English National Ballet return to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time since 2019, with 14 performances of Cinderella in-the-round, featuring over 90 dancers, a live orchestra, magnificent sets and transformational projections.
This sparkling ballet will transport you to an enchanting kingdom where forest creatures live alongside princes, a growing tree appears to dance in the wind, and Cinderellas wit and generosity get her to the ball with the help of a little bit of magic.
